Pinnacle NP 2023 - Day 05
Well I don't thnk anything else broke today. Last night I fiddled with
the wiring where the logger plugs into the main board and the logger
started working again. It worked today for several hours and then
stopped for a while and later started. So we have a graph but ther are
some discontinuities where the temerature and elevation just go in a
sraight line from one time to another. We also have max and min
temperature and elevation values. They may not be completely accurate
but they should be close.
We
also have a good route map. Besides my logger I used the Ultra GPS app
on my phone to map the days route and then send the Tracklog file to my
computer. My logger logs around 2000 points during a typical ride and
my phone logged more than 13,000 points. This would make for a very
accurate track but RoboGeo, the program I use to create the map and
geocode the pictures, choked on that many points. I had to use GPS
Babel to simplify the track. It uses a very sophisticated algorithm
and, even though I reduced the number of points to 2500, it still
produced a very detailed track. In fact I took the phone with me when
we went into a Safeway to get some lunch, and you can see our tracks
inside the store - very cool.
I said nothing broke but the
clamp that attached Linda's headset to the helmet came loose. This has
happened before and I have the tols to fix this. We may have to sprng
for new headsets when we get home.
After leaving Hollister
we went directly west to the coast where we picked up Highway 1 which
hugged the coast and took us all the way through San Francisco and over
the Golden Gate Bridge. From there we headed for Santa Rosa where we
would spend the night. I have great memories of Santa Rosa because it
was where I did my first Half Ironman Triathlon.
Back to the coast tomorrow and eventually Garberville, CA.
